Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) and Vanessa Yeung’s (楊崢) high profile relationship led the Hong Kong media to dig up many of Vanessa’s past romantic rumors, adding fuel to their budding relationship. Vanessa was previously linked with Almen Wong’s (黃佩霞) ex-boyfriend, and Christine Ng’s (伍詠薇) husband Kasey Lin (練海棠) and other wealthy men. In 2005, it was reported that Vanessa was dating Sean Yeung (楊如芯), the current wife of Hong Kong socialite Gigi Chao (趙式芝), daughter of Cheuk Nan CEO Cecil Chao (趙世曾). Vanessa and Sean were often seen coming in and out of each other’s homes. They allegedly had a falling out afterwards due to money. Vanessa had denied her dating rumors with Sean, but she also clarified that she would not be against dating someone of the same sex. “I don’t know. I wouldn’t discriminate them,” she said. When Sean and Gigi were asked about Vanessa years later, both of them replied that they did not wish to comment. Helped Bosco Set Up Oyster Bar According to reports, Vanessa and Bosco became acquaintances fourteen years ago after shooting a television program together. They rarely contacted, but Bosco had mentioned in a 2006 interview that Vanessa was his ideal type, explaining that he likes women who are mature and intelligent. After breaking up with Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) in 2012, Bosco and Vanessa met again at a friend’s dinner gathering. Discovering their mutual interests in restaurants and food, Bosco and Vanessa often called each other to go on restaurant tours around Hong Kong. A source close to Bosco expressed that it was his dream, since youth, to open up his own restaurant business. Vanessa, who had hosted many food programs and even published her own food book, For Two in 32 Minutes, they immediately bonded. Vanessa herself also dreamed about opening restaurant businesses. Bosco and Vanessa grew closer while Bosco was preparing to open up his oyster bar restaurant, Oystermine. Vanessa contributed to the renovation of the bar and overlooked the construction while Bosco was busy with his drama schedules. “Vanessa and Bosco also worked on the restaurant’s menu together,” the insider said. The friends eventually started to date. Many of Bosco’s close friends already knew Vanessa, as Bosco always took her to friend gatherings and introduced Vanessa as his girlfriend. On January 23, 2014, Vanessa’s 42nd birthday, Bosco sent her a bouquet of eleven roses. During the 2014 Lunar New Year holiday, Bosco brought Vanessa with him while paying New Year visits to his close friends and mentors in the industry. Vanessa is nine years older than Bosco, but the 33-year-old actor repeatedly stated that he does not mind the age gap. Bosco’s mother is also very accepting of Vanessa. Bosco once again stated that Vanessa was his ideal type, praising that she is mature, intelligent, and easy to communicate with. “Age and body doesn’t matter! There is no set guideline!” He then added with a laugh, “Actually, I never liked voluptuous bodies! Haha!” Bosco admitted that both he and Vanessa shared a love “for the kitchen”. He said, “Actually, being able to cook was never a requirement I had for my girlfriend, because I know how to cook myself! However, this is also why I am so compatible with [Vanessa]! But when it comes to the kitchen, a mountain cannot hide two tigers. Whenever my mother and I are in the kitchen, we always end up fighting!” Creds: ihktv
